tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu.
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de.
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess.
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap.
parent reason, or underso-called
"depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng,
fish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred )

food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
